I'll go 8 but more like 8.5. The matches weren't anything special (apart from the main event) but there were so many fun moments.

Went with a 9. I had a lot of fun. Liv retained(don't care the how, just that she did), main event was the bonkers spectacle that will be talked about for a long time. I was disappointed in the end of the tag title match, I really wanted the Profits strapped up tonight.

No score because I didn’t watch the whole thing. But it seemed like there is actual hope for this place for the first time in what feels like… ever.

An 8.5/10:
Becky vs. Bianca was another awesome match. And the post match was pretty much perfect. Bayley returns, Dakota and Io on the mai roster (and hopefully being established as major players via association with Bayley), Becky’s babyface turn. Great stuff. I just hope Becky’s arm isn’t hurt too badly.
By lord they did it, they actually managed to get Logan Paul cheered.
Lashley looked like such a badass tonight. And he is so over. He should be going after Roman.
Rhea needs to get away from Judgment Day. The group feels dead in the water and it’s holding her back now.
Pat McAfee is awesome.
USO’s vs. Street Profits was underwhelming. Not BAD, but not nearly as good as their other matches. Also I’m just tired of the USO’s never ending title reign.
The finish to Liv and Ronda is, divisive, from what I’ve seen. Liv won, which is good. But they cannot keep booking her to just fluke her way into big wins. And if there’s a Liv vs. Ronda 3, Liv needs to win straight up.
They finally made another good Brock vs. Roman match. And it was by just going completely freaking insane!!! That was an Attitude Era brawl in 2022. These two cannot face off again. No way can they possibly top that madness.
Fun show overall.

I'd say around 8 to 8.5. Brock/Roman was excellent and was the standout match, but there were a lot of other memorable moments. Becky/Bianca didn't really come close to the Mania match but got saved by a strong finish and the surprise of Bayley's new group arriving. Logan's frog splash was great, Rey was in very fine form before the final spot (and while I would have had JD win, they also visually presented Rhea as their lead figure and also pretty clearly hinted that Beth's showing up very soon). Liv/Ronda's finish made sense in theory but would have hit a lot harder if Liv hadn't tapped a second too early, which just made it look like Ronda did get unfairly treated.

Upped mine to a 6 after realizing what I liked outweighed what I didn't. Opener, very good. And soon we'll see Io Shirai in the ring. Yes. Miz/Logan Paul was fine for what it was. Lashley/Theory was just okay. I liked the transfer from the gorilla press slam to the Hurt Lock. Mysterios vs. JD was okay. I thought Rey vs. Finn worked well together; Edge coming back was a nice touch. Didn't really watch too much after that, it didn't hold my interest enough to get actively into it.

It was a fun show live, but even if it’s a pretty average card and full of rematches. WWE can also deliver. It did give me a bit of hope but still felt status quo.

This is a hard one for me to rate, but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised, and it made a good impression of what the Triple H era could mean.
I do think it was weird having the build that they did, only to have the Usos retain, but that's more a "strange choice, but alright" thing rather than "this sucks".

It’s an 8, with a being there live bump up to 9 for me.
I don’t typically like Brock, but damn that match was fun. It’s so rare you see something you’ve never seen in pro wrestling before in 2022.
Miz/Logan Paul was a pleasant surprise too.
Really wasn’t a bad match on the card. Even the Liv/Ronda match was a well executed finish.

I'm giving it a 10. This was the first show in a very long time that pulled me in enough to actually watch it, and not just listen to it in the background. Dakota Kai came back, Logan Paul performed so well that he got cheered, Brock vs Roman was INSANE, but most importantly, there was an energy to this show that I haven't felt in years. Michael Cole was energized. The crowd was energized. Things happened that could lead somewhere. A heel tag team lost, and didn't immediately beat down the winners to "get their heat back" and extend the feud. If HHH was out to show that things are different now, mission accomplished.

Michael Cole sounded so happy on commentary.
Logan Paul has all the potential, charisma, and natural ability that Rey wishes Dominik had.
Finn looked like an evil sexy Matador.
I watched a f***ing tractor lift a ring.
7/10.

Somewhere between 9 and 10. An all time great SummerSlam.

Damn good show. Exciting stuff throughout. It hit a bit of a slump in the middle but then that main event happened and ripped shit in the best way.

8.
Would've been 9 if the Street Profits won.

9. Really fun show to watch. Even the backstage ad with purewater was entertaining.
one complaint: the Usos were un-needed overbooked bullshit in the main event. Every time they show up for a Roman match it just means there's a bullshit ending coming.
